FAQs
Zipper bedding is a unique bedding style that features zippers to assist in the bed making process.
Beddy’s zipper bedding consists of three primary parts:
- the bottom fitted piece
- the top comforter piece
- the two zippers
The zippers connect the fitted piece to the comforter piece, starting at the foot of the bed and running up both sides.
Beddy’s zipper bedding works by pulling the zippers down to get into bed each night. You can either leave the zipper unzipped for a looser feel, much like traditional bedding, or you can pull the zipper back up for a tighter, fitted feel.
To make the bed with Beddy’s zipper bedding, line up the top piece and bottom piece and pull the zipper up to the top corner. Arrange your pillows and that’s it!
Beddy’s is different from traditional bedding because it incorporates zippers that:
- Connect the pieces of the bed, making it an all-in-one piece of bedding
- Makes it easier and faster to make the bed; just pull the zippers and you’re done!
A Beddy’s zipper bedding set comes with:
- The Beddy’s (top piece and fitted piece come zipped up and attached to each other)
- Pillowcases and Shams (1 of each for Toddler and Twin sizes, 2 of each for Full - King sizes)
If you are purchasing a Beddy’s ZipBase set, which has a fitted piece where the top unzips for easy cleaning, it comes with:
- The Beddy’s (top piece and fitted piece come zipped up and attached to each other)
- Pillowcases and Shams (1 of each for Toddler and Twin sizes, 2 of each for Full - King sizes)
- An extra zip out sheet
You do not need a fitted sheet with Beddy’s bedding. All of the bedding you need will come with your Beddy’s set, and the fitted piece functions as a fitted sheet.
It depends on what zipper bedding you’re using. Beddy’s sets have what are called comfort panels, which is material that is sewn to each side and runs the full length of the top comforter. The length of the comfort panels will vary depending on what size you buy, and they serve two primary purposes:
- To keep the zipper from bumping you in the night
- To provide extra coverage
With zip up bedding, you have two ways that you can choose to sleep:
- Zip yourself in for a tighter, fitted feel, similar to the functionality of a sleeping bag
- Keep it unzipped so it loosely lays on you, similar to the functionality of traditional bedding
The fitted piece of a Beddy’s bedding set is made with heavy-duty elastic so that it will stay firmly in place. While these sets do not feature anchors, other Beddy’s users find that the high-quality elastic keeps the bed in place well!
Beddy’s are a great option for adjustable bed bedding! It stays on the mattress really well, even when it’s adjusted to extreme angles. If you have a split King size bed, you will want to get two twin XL Beddy’s to accommodate it.
Yes, you can use Beddy’s without a top sheet! In fact, you don’t need a top sheet at all with Beddy’s zipper bedding. The lining of the top piece of your Beddy’s, whether you choose the cotton lining or the minky lining, serves as your top sheet.
Whether or not a Beddy’s will fit is dependent on the depth of your mattress. Here are a few measurements to keep in mind to see if Beddy’s will work as deep mattress bedding:
- Twin, Twin XL, Full, and Queen Beddy’s: fit most 15” mattresses
- King Beddy’s: fit up to 18” mattresses
- RV Short Queen Beddy’s: fit up to 12” mattresses
- RV King Beddy’s: fit up to 15” mattresses
Beddy’s are a great option for RV bedding. While you can use any Beddy’s that come in standard sizes, there are some Beddy’s options that are available in RV specific sizes. Those include:
- RV Queen
- RV King
- RV Twin Bunk
- RV ¾
- RV ¾ (left)
- RV ¾ (right)
On top of having the right specialty sizing, the zipper feature will make it much easier to make the bed in the notoriously small spaces in an RV, making it a great option for RV camper sheets & bedding!
Yes, you can use Beddy’s on a murphy bed. In fact, Beddy’s is a preferable bedding option for murphy beds because it stays in place and is easily tucked away when not in use.
Looking for organic bed sheets that zip? Beddy’s currently offers organic zipper sheets and an organic duvet cover, so you can have the simplicity of zipper bedding and the peace of mind that comes with using clean products.
The feel of Beddy’s bedding is most comparable to a quilt. The way that the material drapes over you, whether you have minky or cotton lining, is most like a quilt, vs. a duvet that is more lofty and heavy.
Yes, Beddy’s bedding can solve the “cover stealing” dilemma between partners! If you don’t want to wake up shivering from stolen covers, all you have to do is zip up your side of the bed and it will stay in place.
We recommend washing your zipper bedding once a week. To prolong the life of your zipper bedding, avoid washing it more than once a week. In terms of Beddy’s washing instructions, you’ll want to keep the following in mind:
- Wash your Beddy’s separately in cold water on a normal cycle, and tumble dry on low
- Separate the top from the bottom and wash and dry them individually
- Use liquid detergent, not detergent pods or scented beads. These can get stuck in the folds of the bedding and stain the fabric
- Remove the zipper bedding from the washing machine promptly to avoid color transfer
Wondering how to wash Beddy’s without them shrinking? Your Beddy’s sets will not shrink after washing. All Beddy’s sets are tested ahead of launching to check for shrinkage, and we won’t launch anything that has a certain percentage of shrinkage after washing. So your set will last a long time without any shrinkage!
Here’s how Beddy’s zipper bedding can help kids make their beds independently:
- Simplifies the bed-making process: all they need to do is line up the two pieces and zip
- Large, high-quality zippers used for a smooth zip every time
Beddy’s is a fantastic option for autism bedding and individuals with sensory sensitivities. Here’s why:

- This also means it’s easier for them to make the bed on their own
- No loose bedding or twisted sheets
- Smooth, soft interior options, great for sensory sensitivities
- All-in-one design creates a consistent, predictable sleep environment
The best way to teach your kids to zip their Beddy’s zipper bedding on their own is to break it down into a simple and repeatable step-by-step process. Here’s an outline you can use:
- Take all pillows, stuffed animals, etc off of the bed
- Line up the top piece and pull it tight so the zippers are lined up
- Pull the zipper closed, pulling it all the way up to the head of the bedding

Yes, Beddy’s zipper bedding can work wonders with reducing morning routine stress! Simplifying the bed making process makes it easier to complete the task as soon as you wake up, plus, it’s been proven that once you complete one small task, you’re far more motivated to do more.
This means that your kids will spend less time dragging their feet in the morning and more time working through their list of things they need to do to get ready for the day.
Beddy’s make ideal bunk bed bedding because it eliminates the hardest parts of making a bed in a tight, elevated space:
- Instead of tucking sheets, you zip the bedding along the outside edges
- Instead of lifting the mattress, the fitted portion of the bedding keeps everything in place
- You’ll have a consistently neat look every single day without fail
Beddy’s are a great option for dorm bedding. They make it very easy to make the bed every day, and they give a neat look every time, so the dorm can easily look put together.
Before purchasing your Beddy’s, make sure you know what size mattress you have in your dorm! Most dorms have Twin XL mattresses, but that’s not necessarily true for all dorms.
Yes, Beddy’s can be used on RV beds with odd corners. We have some styles that are available with rounded edges, and if you opt for a style that does not have these specific style options, a number of customers have opted to simply tuck the corners underneath the mattress. The zipper functionality will still operate well, and you get the simplified RV bedding you’ve been wanting!
Yes, Beddy’s bedding is a good option for AIrbnbs and short-term rental properties. Beddy’s makes bed-making easier, and it makes laundry days a breeze!
If you’re going to have Beddy’s zipper bedding in your Airbnb or short-term rental, we recommend including instructions on how to use the bedding, since to many people, it will be a new concept!
Beddy’s zipper bedding is incredibly easy to clean. If you have an Original Beddy’s, all you need to do is unzip the top piece from the bottom and wash them separately. If you have a ZipBase Beddy’s, unzip the top piece from the bottom and then unzip the ZipBase sheet and wash those two pieces together.
Duvets take a little more effort to get ready to be washed. Depending on the type of duvet you have, you may need to untie, unbutton, or unsnap the insert, whereas with a Beddy’s set, all you need to do is unzip and you’re ready to go.
The biggest difference between Beddy’s and traditional bedding is the zipper functionality, as well as the fact that you get your bedding all in one piece! There are two zippers that run the length of the bed, connecting the fitted piece and top comforter, making it easier to make the bed and giving you all of your bedding in one easy purchase.
A standard set of Beddy’s zipper bedding serves as your fitted sheet, top sheet, and comforter all in one piece, with material that is thick and cozy like a comforter or quilt. Zipper sheets have similar functionality, but the entire set is made with cotton sheet material.
Yes, Beddy’s zipper bedding can be used with a mattress topper! The heavy duty fitted portion of your Beddy’s is designed to accommodate mattresses with varying thickness, including mattresses with mattress toppers.
You do not need a box spring or specific type of bed base to use Beddy’s zipper bedding! A Beddy’s functions similarly to a fitted sheet being put on a bed, so all you need is your mattress.
Beddy’s is priced higher than traditional bedding for a number of reasons, including:
- You get all of your bedding in one piece vs. needing to buy the pieces separately
- They’re made with durable, high-quality material that is built to last longer than traditional bedding
- The unique zipper functionality that makes bed-making so much easier!
Currently, you cannot buy just the top or just the bottom piece of a Beddy’s. The full set needs to be purchased at once.
However, if you have a ZipBase Beddy’s set, you can purchase additional ZIpBase sheets!
Beddy’s zipper bedding is a great option for restless sleepers and people who tend to kick covers off at night. With Beddy’s bedding, you can easily zip yourself into bed each night, which helps keep the bedding in place and keeps you nice and cozy.
No one wants to think about their house catching on fire, but in the case that it does, Beddy’s bedding will not keep you from being able to get out of your bed. Zipping yourself into bed is an option but not required for sleeping in a Beddy’s! So if this is something that makes you nervous, simply keep the bedding unzipped each night.
The best bedding for kids who struggle to keep their blankets on at night is bedding that is specifically designed to stay in place. The best blanket/bedding option is going to depend on your child’s age and individual needs. Here are the two main options:
- A wearable sleep sack: primarily used for babies and toddlers, these wearable blankets zip or button on to your child and cannot be kicked off. It’s also a safer option than using loose blankets for younger babies.
- Zipper bedding: a zipper bedding set gives you all of your bedding in one piece that is connected by zippers. With Beddy’s zipper bedding, the sheet is attached to the comforter, giving you a single layer that can be zipped up once your child is in bed. This is for children ages three and up.
Yes, there are a handful of blanket and bedding options that are designed specifically for those with sensory issues. Here are some options to choose from:
- Zipper Bedding: the comforter and base sheet are connected by zippers, which keeps everything in place, and makes it possible to zip yourself into bed. This keeps the blankets from shifting while you sleep, even if you’re a restless sleeper.
- Sensory Compression Sheets: these are made from stretchy fabric that provides gentle pressure and eliminates the bulk of multiple bedding layers.
- Weighted Blankets: Another option that provides steady pressure while sleeping, weighted blankets can also help reduce anxiety and help bring a sense of calm at bedtime.
The best bedding for kids who struggle to make their bed on their own is bedding that is designed with simplicity in mind, such as zipper bedding.
Some of the reasons kids may struggle to make their own bed include:
- Multiple layers make it challenging to make the bed well
- It can take a long time to make
- It’s looked at as a chore because, well, it is!
Here’s how zipper bedding helps solve the bed-making problem:
- All of the bedding is connected by zippers, giving a simple, all-in-one bedding experience
- It’s fast and easy to make the bed- just line up the pieces and zip!
- Making the bed is turned into a game with zipper bedding: how fast can you make the bed this time? Can you make the bed while sitting on top of it? Can you make it with your eyes closed?
Minky is a highly sought-after lining option for people considering a Beddy’s! It’s nice and cozy, and kids and adults alike love it.
Minky fabric is ultra-soft and plush, providing a cozy sleep set up without overheating. It’s well-suited for most climates and sleep styles. Most kids do not overheat in a minky Beddy’s.
However, if you know that your child tends to sleep hot, it may be a better option to choose a cotton Beddy’s, or a Dual Comfort Beddy’s set where you can switch between cotton and minky depending on the weather or personal preferences for the day!
We highly recommend Beddy’s as one of the best bedding brands for encouraging kids to make the bed on their own! The zipper bedding is connected by two zippers that start at the foot of the bed and run up each side, significantly cutting back on the time it takes to make the bed each morning. Instead of wrestling with sheets and comforters and trying to pull everything together, all they need to do is line up the pieces and pull the zipper!
Beddy’s bedding is designed to make bed-making simple, and that includes children with limited motor skills. With an all-in-one design that zips together, a Beddy’s set can help:
- Reduces physical strain, such as lifting the mattress or reaching across the bed
- Promotes independence and confidence in doing the chore on their own
- Keeps bedding secure and in place, creating a safer sleep environment
Beddy’s zipper bedding was originally invented to solve the problem of trying to make a bunk bed. No matter how hard you try, it feels impossible to make a top bunk and leave it looking nice and neat.
Instead of wrestling with the mattress and endlessly tucking sheets, you can put a zipper bedding set on your bunk bed. When it’s time to make the bed, just line up the base piece and top comforter and pull the zipper. You’ll have a beautifully made bed every single time!
Beddy’s zipper bedding is a great option for tricky beds, such as bunks or lofts, where tucking in sheets and pulling bedding tight is typically a challenge. Here’s why you’ll love it:
- You get all of your bedding in one piece, with the fitted piece and top comforter connected by two zippers
- Once the bedding is on the mattress, it’s not going anywhere; no more tucking sheets!
- Just pull the zipper each morning, you’ll have a perfectly made bed in ten seconds without fail
Yes, Beddy’s is still a great option for top bunks with safety rails! Depending on the style of your top bunk, you can either reach between the slats of the safety rail, or your child can be on top of the to make it. Have them pull the comforter in place and then reach between the mattress and the side of the bed to pull the zipper.
Beddy’s zippered bedding sets are a great option if you’re looking for a bed set that always looks put together. The fitted piece and top comforter are connected by two zippers that start at the foot of the bed and run up each side. Not only is it easy to make, but once both sides are zipped, the bedding will be pulled tight and looking amazing, and you’ll have done it in ten seconds or less.
Absolutely! Here’s how Beddy’s zipper bedding works:
- You’ll receive all of your bedding pieces in one purchase. The fitted piece and top comforter come connected by two zippers that start at the foot of the bed. You’ll also receive pillowcases and shams.
- To put your Beddy’s on your bed, simply pull the fitted portion over your mattress like you would a fitted sheet.
- When it’s time for bed, pull the zippers from the head of the bed down toward the foot of the bed. You can choose to sleep with the bed unzipped or zipped back up, it’s totally up to you!
In terms of the simplicity that Beddy’s brings to the bed-making process, here’s how it helps kids and adults alike with making the bed:
- It’s infinitely easier to make the bed every day. Instead of messing around with multiple layers and trying to get everything neat and tucked, you just pull the zipper and you’re done
- Regardless of the kind of bed it’s on- bunk bed, loft bed, corner bed, standard bed- it’s going to come out looking neat and tidy every time
- Kids find that make the bed is actually fun, instead of feeling like a chore
No, Beddy’s zippers are not noisy or uncomfortable to sleep in. Part of this is because of the comfort panels on the Beddy’s. Comfort panels are pieces of fabric that extend out from the inside lining of your Beddy’s, giving you a little extra coverage while you sleep and protecting you from the possibility of bumping into the zipper during the night!
The process for putting a Beddy’s set on a mattress is the same as putting a traditional fitted sheet on, the only difference is the comforter comes already zipped onto the fitted portion! So instead of lining up the comforter and making sure it’s even and pulling together, the comforter is already zipped on and perfectly in place. Just pull the fitted piece over the corners of your mattress, just as you would a fitted sheet, and your bed is made.
Yes, Beddy’s sets really do significantly simplify the laundry process for bunk bed bedding! Here’s how:
- The core piece of bedding goes on and off like a fitted sheet, so when laundry day comes, all you need to do is remove that fitted portion and the entire bedding system comes off with it
- If you have a ZipBase or Dual Comfort ZipBase set, you don’t even need to remove the fitted portion. Just zip off the sheets and toss those in the wash.
- There’s no longer a need to lift the mattress to try and tuck everything in; once the fitted portion is back on the bed, it stays put!
Beddy’s provides premium kid bedding that is definitely worth the higher price. Beddy’s zipper bedding sets are made with premium materials, there’s tons of prints and designs to choose from to fit their style, and the best part is they’re incredibly easy to make.

There are definitely budget friendly options to get started with Beddy’s! Here are some options you can choose from:
- Start with a Beddy’s set on one bed: get one for your own bed so you can be the judge of whether or not it’s worth it for the whole house, or get one for a child that may be struggling to make the bed each day. Give it a few months and see how you feel!
- Choose a wallet-friendly Beddy’s option: there are varying levels of Beddy’s to choose from, the least expensive sets starting at $139 for a twin set. There are differences between the different levels, but the zipper function remains the same. Consider starting with a lower priced zipper bedding set and then moving forward from there!
- Purchase a gently used Beddy’s: another option is to purchase from Beddy’s ReZipped, a Beddy’s resell site where people can sell their gently used Beddy’s at a significant discount.
Beddy’s is a great bedding brand for adults and kids alike. Zipper bedding makes bed-making effortless, giving you a neat, pulled together look in a matter of seconds. While this is a great option for kids who may be trying to get into the habit of making their bed every day, it’s also a wonderful option for adults who want an easy bed-making experience as well!
The difference between Beddy’s with cotton and Beddy’s with minky is in the comforter lining. Here’s what to expect:
- Cotton-Lined Beddy’s: The base of your Beddy’s that you sleep on will have a cotton liner, and the inside of the comforter will have a cotton liner. The comfort panels will also be made with cotton.
- Minky-Lined Beddy’s: The base of your Beddy’s that you sleep on will have a cotton liner, and the inside of the comforter will have a minky liner. The comfort panels will also be made with minky.
If you find that you are a generally hot sleeper, we recommend the cotton-lined Beddy’s. It provides a cool, crisp feel while still adding comfort, while the minky-lined option is better known for being warm and cuddly.
